First time here without a booking and they squeezed us in. The mixed chicken kebab was the star - really juicy and flavourful, loved the smoky bits. The place itself is bright and modern, which was nice.

Such a lovely spot for a catch-up with mates! The outdoor area was perfect for our group, and they didn&#39;t mind our dog at all. Food came out super quick so we could just relax and chat. Prices are really fair for what you get.

The coffee&#39;s always spot on, and the sandwiches are really tasty. Staff are cheerful and welcoming, which makes it a nice place to just sit for a bit.

Really impressed by the vegan pizza here. The crust was thin and crispy, and the cheese didn&#39;t have that weird coconut aftertaste you sometimes get. My little one had a blast making her own pasta, too.

Popped in for a quiet pint on a sunny afternoon. The beer garden is a real gem, very peaceful. They had a decent selection of local ales on tap. My pint was well-kept and hit the spot. A solid spot for a relaxed drink.

The owners really know their stuff. You can taste the care in every cup, from the beans they pick to how they brew it. Just a solid, no-fuss coffee spot.

The crab linguine was the star for me. Fresh, generous chunks of crab, and the pasta had just the right bite. The steak was fine, but that pasta is what I&#39;ll remember.

Solid pub food. The pies are the highlight - the Bull pie was packed with flavour, really hit the spot. Fish &amp; chips were good too, classic and tasty. Just what you want from a place like this.

Lovely Tudor beams, very cosy. The dining area is quiet, perfect for a proper conversation over a good glass of wine. I found their house red a bit light for my taste, but the setting more than made up for it. A nice spot for a relaxed evening.

Food&#39;s always reliable here, and it comes out quick even on a packed Friday night. I really like their fish and chips. The staff are friendly and the place just feels comfortable, which is what I look for.

Been coming here for years, and the service is always spot on. Griselda remembered my usual order this time, which was a nice touch. That kind of consistency keeps me coming back.

The kids&#39; meals came out fast, which is a lifesaver. They loved the new veggie plates and the candy floss pudding. For the price, it&#39;s a solid choice when you need a hassle-free family dinner.

The staff here are just so lovely. Had a great chat with the bartender while trying a couple of their local craft beers. Really made the evening. The food was also spot on.

Busy Friday night, but our waitress was on it! She was juggling so many tables but still checked in with us, never seemed flustered. Made waiting for our food way less annoying.

Been coming here for years, their fried chicken is always spot on. Tender, never greasy. The Asian buffalo sauce is a nice twist.

Dog-friendly and staff were very accommodating. We were seated in a quieter spot which was appreciated.

The steak was cooked exactly as I asked, medium rare. Juicy inside with a nice sear on the outside. The peppercorn sauce had a good, strong kick to it. Just what I was after.

Friendly team, always a smile. Even when it&#39;s packed, they keep things moving smoothly. Just a nice, relaxed vibe to the place.

Been coming here for years for the fish and chips. The batter is always spot on - really crispy and light, doesn&#39;t feel greasy at all. Chips are fluffy inside, just how I like them. A solid, reliable choice.

The food looked like art, seriously. Each plate was so pretty I almost didn&#39;t want to touch it. Tasted just as good as it looked, too.

The lunch set is good value at &pound;25 for three courses. The presentation was nice, service was prompt.

Booked for a Friday night and it was packed, so good call on the reservation. The vibe was buzzing but not overwhelming, really liked the warm lighting and the wooden tables. Food came out fresh and hot, which was nice.

Came back twice for the meze tapas during our Brighton trip. The homemade lemonade was a real find too &ndash; so fresh and not overly sweet. Just a lovely, relaxed spot.

Been coming here for years. The bacon and venison pie is always solid, proper hearty stuff. Even the cabbage on the side has some thought behind it. You can tell they don&#39;t just chuck things on a plate.

We enjoyed a delightful birthday breakfast celebration here. Our server Sam went above and beyond to make us feel special, and the food was fantastic. Thank you for a memorable experience!

Been going here for years, it&#39;s a proper village pub. The Sunday roast is always spot on, the lamb and pork are cooked just right with all the trimmings. Can&#39;t fault it.

We have had many meals at the Smuggiers Rest Peacehaven in the past for different occasions as it is quite close to home,  We booked this our 28th wedding anniversary at short notice, And had another very enjoyable meal looked after by a very attentive waiter called Addison which made it all very pleasant meal/evening,

The fish was the star for me - the batter had this perfect crisp and the inside was so moist. Chips were a proper portion too. Just a really nice, friendly spot to grab a bite.

The staff, especially Pat and Eva, are so friendly. They suggested a lovely local red that went perfectly with the lamb.

Lovely spot in the village. The drive up is nice. Had the chicken sandwich and an iced coffee today &ndash; both were fresh and tasted good. Just a solid, simple lunch.
